Hi.
I have just completed the 7 race series in the career mode that uses the lotus 98t. In the last race at Monza i was getting warnings from my crew chief app that my engine wasn't sounding good. Sure enough a few laps later i get the mechanical fault flag on the screen. The car still seems to go ok and i go on to complete the race.
Just wondering if anyone knows what has caused this. I had the radiator open fully and the crew chief told me engine temperatures were fine. I did have the boost increased to 5.3 bar and whilst this might be the obvious explanation it didn't do this to me in the other 6 races of the season. Also that was only slightly up on the default and if you can't even tweak it a bit what is the point in having it.
Does anyone know if engine damage like that accumulates over the season?
Thanks in advance.
